NEW VIDEO - ‘Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank: Do You Really Get All That Power?’⁣
⁣
In this video I check out the ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank (10,000mAh) from Benks — sold at $59.99 and with aramid fibre and a reinforced aluminium frame. On paper, it promises Qi2-certified wireless charging up to 15W, strong N52 magnets for alignment, and better heat management. ⁣
⁣
But how much power do you actually get once it’s charging your phone wirelessly?⁣

It’s time to stop debating whether an iPad can replace your laptop.

With iPadOS 26 especially, depending on your workflow, an iPad can be your main computer.

It has been mine for years.

For developers it may still fall short—perhaps always will—so use a Mac.

By now we should know which camp we belong to.

I listen to podcasts while walking with my AirPods. I wish my podcast app had a feature where, if I hear something I want to revisit, I could just press the stem on my AirPods to save it. It would bookmark that point in the episode and collect all my bookmarks in a separate section of the app for easy reference.

Testing out some sketching on the reMarkable Paper Pro Move. The device feels great for drawing … my sketching skills, not so much! 😆 This is from a longer video at my YouTube channel. Link in comments ↓

⁣
In this video I unbox the reMarkable Paper Pro Move, set it up, and take it out for a real-world test. I check the build, folio fit, writing feel, colours, templates, tools, and portability to see if the Move actually does make note-taking easier on the go. ⁣

NEW VIDEO - ‘3-in-1 USB-C 240W Cable from AOHi | Charger + Knife + Fire!?’⁣
⁣
In this video I take a look at the AOHi Prometheus Cable, a Kickstarter gadget that’s raised over £100,000 by promising to be “the only cable you’ll ever need.” It’s a 240W USB-C charging cable powerful enough to juice up a MacBook Pro, but it also hides a titanium blade and even a ceramic lighter. Yes… your charger can now slice open Amazon boxes and start your next campfire.⁣

I run a tech YouTube channel and connected Substack—mainly about E-Ink devices—and I’m wondering which tech shows are worth going to. Also, does anyone know of any relevant press junkets I could try to get invited to?

YouTube comments are strange.

For months I was seeing supportive feedback, good questions, and polite counterpoints.

Then last week? Suddenly a wave of negativity and nastiness.

Is this YouTube pushing my videos to a new crowd?

Yes—probably! When the algorithm shows your videos outside your regular audience, the mix of reactions changes. Some people won’t connect with your style, and some will be more combative. That shift from months of positive to a sudden burst of negative often just means your reach has expanded.

Does this little gadget finally bring MagSafe-style charging to the iPad? In this video, I take a look at the Kuxiu M30 magnetic smart connector charger — a unique accessory that connects to the iPad’s Smart Connector to deliver up to 35W fast charging while keeping the USB-C port completely free. The M30 offers safe magnetic detachment, a 2-metre braided cable, and a sleek aluminium finish.⁣
